Central effects of oxytocin.

During lactation and parturition, magnocellular oxytocin (OT) neurons display a characteristic bursting electrical activity responsible for pulsatile OT release. We investigated this activity using hypothalamic organotypic slice cultures enriched in magnocellular OT neurons. As shown here, the neurons are functional

The effect of the neurohypophysial hormones oxytocin and arginine vasopressin (AVP) on testicular steroidogenesis was reevaluated by use of short-term (< 10 h) cultures of isolated adult rat Leydig cells. Oxytocin at 10(-9), 10(-7), and 10(-5) M concentrations significantly increased

Prominent arginine-vasopressin (AVP) binding and AVP V(1) type receptors are expressed early in the developing rat spinal cord. We sought to characterize their influence on neural excitability by using patch-clamp techniques to record AVP-induced responses from a population of motoneurons

Oxytocin (OT) is present in the mammalian testis and has been postulated to play a role in modulation of seminiferous tubule contractility. However, recent evidence suggests that the myoid cells responsible for such contractile activity do not express OT receptors.
